The Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini won’t be getting the Android 7.0 Nougat update officially from the Korean manufacturer. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be running the latest and greatest of Android on your device.

Thanks to the folks over at xda, an unofficial build CM14.1 for Galaxy S5 Mini is now available and you download/install it on your device right this instance.

CM14.1 is an Android 7.1 Nougat based AOSP ROM developed and maintained by CyanogenMod — the most popular custom ROM for Android devices.

This is an unofficial release of CM14.1 for Galaxy S5 mini and might not be perfect for everyone. Check all details about the ROM below, along with downloads and installation instructions.
